I am a Canadian artist and wildlife art is my passion. I have loved and respected the outdoors and animals for as long as I can remember. This tremendous love has enticed me to capture on canvas the beauty of our earth and the creatures that roam it. My goal is to share that beauty with others. I believe my First Nations ancestry (Mohawk) has helped embed this love and respect into me. Painting, my passion, offers me the freedom to express my feelings and love of this earth. I studied animals, art, and photography to help refine my skills and talent. I feel that I improve with every painting I do. Most of my paintings are taken from real life experiences I have had. I grew up in the country in Canada where deer, bear, moose and even elk are often seen. Several of my paintings were painted in memory of my father (Dale Keller) and my high school art teacher (Colin Edwards). They loved animals and art as much as I do, and the memories I shared with them continue to inspire me to follow my dreams. I am blessed to have a God given talent and the opportunity to share it with others. |
